1320video heads to the Merrill Ice Drags in Wisconsin, where drag racing moves off the asphalt and onto a frozen lake. Series regular Fred — last seen destroying an EcoBoost Mustang in the half mile — brings his Yukon to a surface where traction is barely a rumor. It is a raw, low-buck, wildly entertaining look at a form of motorsport most fans have never seen. See how ice drag racing really goes down.
That Racing Channel breaks down “The Devil’s Reject” — a 2,200-horsepower Shelby GT500 built by Evolution Performance that became the first Ford mod-motor car into the six-second quarter mile. Its MPR-built 5.8L modular V8 actually shrinks to 349 cubic inches via Darton sleeves, then breathes through a massive 94mm Precision turbo. It is a masterclass in why bigger displacement is not always the answer in the X275 class. See the build that rewrote the record books.
Road Test TV stages a dream matchup: a genuine 1968 426 Hemi Super Bee against a 1971 LS6 454 Corvette over the quarter mile. Both are staggeringly rare — the Corvette 1 of 188, the Hemi Super Bee 1 of 128 — which makes watching them actually launch a rare treat. It is the eternal Mopar-versus-Chevy argument settled on the strip instead of in the comments. See which legend takes it.
This tongue-in-cheek countdown turns the roast that muscle-car and supercar fans already got squarely onto the JDM crowd. It is an affectionate skewering of import-scene stereotypes — the badge worship, the rarity obsession, the endless online debates — from a creator who clearly knows the culture. Even on a muscle-car site it earns a laugh, because the real joke is about every car tribe. See how many of the ten signs hit close to home.
This is a genuine vintage road test of a 1971 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 convertible — a four-speed, 455-powered droptop from the very end of the classic muscle-car era. It offers a rare window into how one of Lansing’s most serious performance cars was judged when it was brand new, before compression drops and insurance hikes changed everything. For 442 fans, this period footage is a genuine time capsule.
Ford rated the 428 Cobra Jet at 335 horsepower, but real-world output landed closer to 400, a gap that let the mid-year engine option dominate NHRA’s Super Stock class within months of its release. Fewer than 1,300 GT Fastbacks were built with the Cobra Jet in 1968, each carrying an R engine code that collectors still chase today. This surviving example shows just how understated the factory kept its most dangerous engine option.
This 1970 Dodge Challenger earned a spot in film history through the 1982 Australian cult classic Running on Empty, proving Mopar menace plays well on any continent. As a first-year E-body launched at the absolute peak of the muscle era, it is exactly the Challenger enthusiasts prize most. Its long hood and wide stance made it a natural on screen. Watch to see the Aussie classic in action.
Doug DeMuro takes a walk around the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, the most powerful Corvette Chevrolet had ever built at the time and the final, fiercest send-off for the front-engine layout before the mid-engine C8. With its supercharged LT5 V8 and comically large rear wing, it is a car built without an ounce of restraint. Watch for the quirks and features only Doug would think to point out.
A stock 1970 Dodge Charger and a fully stripped, tuned Honda Civic meet at the traffic lights after a chance downtown encounter, and the result has drawn millions of views. The Charger’s driver had never raced before and fumbled a column-shift from first to second, which makes the outcome genuinely debatable. Best of all is what happened after the run. Watch to see how it ends.
Road Test TV pulls a 1967 Corvette out of a nearly forty-year slumber, and the numbers stop you cold: a 427-cubic-inch L71 Tri-Power big-block rated at 435 horsepower, a four-speed manual, and just 25,000 original miles. The ’67 is the most coveted of the mid-year Corvettes, and a genuine barn-find L71 is the kind of car appraisers build careers around. Watch to see it wake up.
Mr. Regular of Regular Car Reviews wandered through Corvettes at Carlisle 2015 with one loaded question: which generation is the best Corvette? What he got back was less an answer than a friendly war between C1 purists, C2 loyalists, and C5 value hunters, none of whom would concede an inch. It is part car show, part anthropology field study. Watch to see who the crowd crowns.
The auction lane produces a specific kind of ache: dream cars rolling under the lights one after another while you do quiet math on machines you have no business buying. This short reel drops you into a run of sweet muscle cars staged and waiting for the gavel, with no narration and no mercy. Big-blocks, survivors, and tribute builds all share the same lane. Watch, play appraiser from your couch, and try not to pick a favorite.
It looks like a mismatch on paper: a 1969 L88 Corvette rated at 430 horsepower against a 1972 Oldsmobile 442 W30 rated at just 300. But both figures were creative fictions built to dodge insurers, and Road Test TV takes these two genuinely rare survivors—one of 116 and one of 772—to the quarter mile to find the truth. The timeslips reveal as much about 1970s marketing as about the cars. See which icon actually crosses the line first.
You have probably seen the frozen frame—the highway, the sideways lurch, the blind-spot caption—but the full clip is something else entirely. A 2001 Dodge Durango hits ice coming from 394 onto Highway 100 in Minneapolis and carves a complete 360-degree spin through live traffic without touching a thing. Captured in one unbroken dashcam take, it became one of the internet’s most-shared driving gifs. Watch the moment behind the meme and the winter-driving lesson buried inside it.
After roughly thirty-five years hidden in storage, a 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda convertible emerges still wearing its original 440 Six Barrel big block. The “V” in its VIN confirms it is the real thing, and Plymouth built just 17 V-code ‘Cuda convertibles for 1971. Road Test TV walks around this uncovered survivor and leaves the biggest question wide open: what is it actually worth today? See the barn find that makes collectors hold their breath.
